Class [Prophecy . . . . In 1972, after spending twenty years in the Foreign Legion, I have returned to Pawnee City and find the town in good order. I won- der what has happened to all of my old class- mates. As I walk down the street, I see the neon sign of Vestal's Hardware. I amble in the flourishing establishment and see Lowell. He is complaining about his feet. Taking a further look around our mighty metropolis, I see Darreld Alderman and Keith Davis sitting in the P.M.A. office. Darreld is the county pres- ident of P.M.A., and Keith is his right-hand man. Donovan Albers and David Bock are partners in the local florist shop. Pawnee finally has a new theater; its proud owner is Jim Holman. It seems the reason Jim has en- tered the theater business is so that he won't have to get up until noon. Jim acquired his dislike for getting up early by trying to get to high school choir at 8:00 A.M. (He seldom made it.) Max Scott and Jim Rhodes are the owners of Pawnee Dance Hall. Their star attraction is Ken Johnson and His Royal Bo- hemians. Ken really beats the drums. His tuba soloist is Robert Stepanek. Cynthia Davis is spinning around town in her new Ford. It seems Cynthia is the Ford dealer. I hear she gives a very small trade-in allowance for your old car. Jerome Hoffman left Pawnee City at a tender age and became a famous scientist, but his absent mindedness was his downfall. Jerome forgot to check a chemical equation. I visited Jerome in the hospital yesterday. Carnegie Hall's great pianist, Galen Johnston, is enjoying married life. Poor Galen does have trouble supporting his seven daughters. Mari- lyn Hopper and Carolyn Bratt are ornitholo- gists (bird scientists). I hear they have been chasing wild geese for years. Eugene Rakos- nik is working feverishly on a hair restorer. Eugene parted with his hair at an early age and has been trying to solve the problem that confronts thousands of men. Bill Huston is the President of the P.C.H.S. (Pawnee City Humane Society). You will find Bill getting up every morning at five o'clock to feed all the stray dogs and cats. Speaking Page 14 of dogs and cats, Donna Shelabarger is oper ating a dog and cat sanctuary. We knew Donna would eventually wind up in this pro- fession because she always had more pets than the rest of the class together. Edna Peacock, Maxine Korber, and Mary Lou Parli are the proprietors of the new cafe, The Greasy Spoon. I always knew they would succeed. Mary Ann Collar is now the manager of Farmer's Food Market. She en- joys herself immensely by sampling all the food with the excuse that she wants to know whether it is stale Charles Spohr is the owner of a great many farms in the county. Bud Callam is Charles' advisor, Bud does all the work, while Charlie collects the money. Their secretaries are Donna Kalina and Carol Williams. David Waddell is the most eligible bachelor in our prosperous community. After cleaning up on the grain market, Dave has retired to a more conservative life. He spends most of his time running from the ladies. Doris Farwell is enjoying her life in the Du Bois vicinity. She was formerly Doris Hess. Betty Stastny has her own dance band now; it's a family orchestra. Doris Brown and Ger- aldine Niss enjoy chatting on Saturday nights. Certainly you remember Doris Bock and Gerry Gifford and their boy friends. Well, they're now married. Mary Perdew and Mary Alice Wilson are passing out oranges to the needy people. They are employed by the County Relief Of- fice. Our county sheriff, Richard Blecha, is so overworked that he has four secretaries. They are Joan and Shrie Alderman, Jane Dodson, and Phyllis Edgerton. Incidentally, their sal- aries are paid by the County. I wonder if Richard sticks to business with so many secre- taries. Since I have told you all the news of my old classmates, I must be catching the next freight. I still have twenty more years to serve in the Foreign Legion. GUESS WHO?
